Psalms 29
Ascribe to the Lord Glory
A Psalm of David.
1 Ascribe to the Lord, O heavenly beings,[a]
(a)ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.
2 Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name;
worship the Lord in (b)the splendor of holiness.[b]
3 The voice of the Lord is over (c)the waters;
the God of glory (d)thunders,
the Lord, over many waters.
4 The voice of the Lord is (e)powerful;
the voice of the Lord is full of majesty.
5 The voice of the Lord breaks the cedars;
the Lord breaks (f)the cedars of Lebanon.
6 He makes Lebanon to (g)skip like a calf,
and (h)Sirion like a young (i)wild ox.
7 The voice of the Lord flashes forth flames of fire.
8 The voice of the Lord shakes the wilderness;
the Lord shakes the wilderness of (j)Kadesh.
9 The voice of the Lord makes (k)the deer give birth[c]
and strips the forests bare,
and in his temple all cry, "Glory!"
10 The Lord sits enthroned over (l)the flood;
the Lord sits enthroned (m)as king forever.
11 May the Lord give (n)strength to his people!
May the Lord bless[d] his people with (o)peace!
